PRESIDENT JENNIFER RODGER welcomed members to the online Zoom meeting.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT:
Ivan Routley chairman next week 27th July..
Club Assembly August 3rd.
Current restrictions limit Golf Club to only 20 in Bistro, had hoped limits lifted to enable 28.
Shamrock can cater for 20 per room, allowing 40 in adjacent rooms.
Need to be responsible and no need to rush in.
Chris Sutton District Secretary reported at the May District Board and Finance meetings a recommendation was made to provide a part refund of the District Dues in this, the 2019-2020 Rotary year.
This recommendation comes in light of the pandemic circumstances we currently find ourselves in.
What was agreed was:
The amount of the refund will be $25 per Rotarian who has renewed and paid their Rotary International membership fees by Friday 31 July 2020.
The refund will be made to the Clubs in District 9790 and paid into the Club Account.
This is a gesture of goodwill and should be seen as such. The monies used will come from the 2019-2020 District Funds (not 2020-2021).
The monies are not to be used to fund projects.
The monies must be used for the benefit of Rotarians - this can either be a reduction in Club Membership fees or for a social event. It is the responsibility of the Club and the Club Members to decide which works best.
The refund is connected to ensuring we have engagement and renewed membership of Rotarians. It's been a tough couple of months and hopefully we'll all be able to enjoy some well earned fellowship in the coming months
President Jennifer urged members to pay their dues by 31st July to enable the club claim up to $900.

TO FINISH WISH A SMILE
One day, a fourteen-year-old weasel went down to the local dance hall. The bartender took one look at him and says, “You are under-aged. I can’t serve you beer.” The weasel asks, “What can I have?” The bartender replies, “I have bottled water, juice, energy drinks, and pop.” “Pop!” goes the weasel.
